How do you become a Journalist?

A Journalist's blog is always at a high standard. A blog that has a header, with just a picture of your Chobot isn't going to go very far. Try making sure that your blog is presented well. Many Journalist's blogs display an eye-catching header. Something that catches a person's eye will make them want to read on. 

Try making your posts "interesting." Having informative content that you didn't just take from the main blog will make somebody want to carry on reading. If people begin to like your posts, updates, and contests, you will gain popularity fast, making it easier for the Chotopia Team to view your blog.

Many new Chobots may stumble across your blog. Having guides up will tremendously help them. Make sure all your blog content is unique, even an art/video page is sure to attract an audience to your blog.

Everybody needs some help once in a while. Hiring a passionate partner/author/designer for your blog is sure to gain attention while benefiting you and your blog.

If you think you are ready to become a Journalist, keep an eye out on the Main Blog looking for more Journalists and be sure to send a staff member your blog to check out!
